Preacher's Proverbs: Wisdom Taught and Caught in My Life

"Go into the ministry," they said. "It will be fun," they said. Ministry is not always fun, but it is rarely boring. Many a young minister has begun only to think later, What am I doing here? Thankfully, there have been older, more experienced ministers that have shared their wit and wisdom along the way. Some were trying to encourage, while others were trying to keep me on track. Now, after nearly forty years in pastoral ministry, I have put some of those bits of wisdom together in this book. My hope and prayers are that you will receive the same encouragement and direction that I did through the years. I hope that you can find a comfortable place to sit and meet with me as we share about what we are learning through this high calling and great adventure called the ministry.

About his life

For me, Mr. Lopez always provides a cerebral and emotional journey with his amazing use of the written word. I was introduced to Barry Holsten Lopez's writing in 1982 with "River Notes" and became a fan instantly. This latest work is less poetry and more prose; focusing on personal revelation. It provoked several emotions, including a sense of loss, throughout the chapters. The book will be a reward for fans as he reveals...

Excells all

This book is full of beautiful imagry, a must for people who crave to go places and see things. His essays/memoirs excell above all others. The writing reflects his thoughts so vividly you would swear you were there. If you like reading about far away places and the experiences and adventures of a very cultrued and passionate writer, than this is the book for you.

Lopez is the champion storyteller

In an era where American storytelling is all but dead, Lopez may be the resurrection. Lopez gives us his sketches about life with the precision of a master craftsman but with the story telling skills of my grandmother. All essays are compelling, and the only disappointing moment is when the reader realizes that he or she is on the last page.

Lopez Is On the Verge of Being a Genius

I just heard Lopez at a book festival and fell completely and utterly under his spell. He is a writer of immense talent and extreme breadth. His intelligence of all matters, big and small, is amazing. He believes in community, he believes in nature, he believes in the moral fiber of this country and the world. Barry Lopez, read him!

Lessons in appreciating what is around us

Lopez redefines memoir by arranging a number of previously published essays with new ones to tell us about his life. We are taken from what are current interests back to his childhood where we discover how he learned to look at the world. Initially he was fortunate to have been given a mother who, though she was left by her husband with two young boys, was a woman interesting to interesting men. The mother continues to weave...
